Unable to enable "Autofill on Chrome" on Android

In the android 1pw app, under Autofill section in settings there is a toggle for "Autofill on Chrome" that is toggled off. Toggling it on brings up a pop-up stating that "autofill using another service" should be enabled in Chrome settings. The pop-up offers to open Chrome, which does not work. In Chrome app (v 135) settings there is no such setting to enable, and no section for Autofill Services. 1pwd toggle remains off.

    Hello conspiracyx​! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out! Chrome 135 was scheduled to introduce a setting within Chrome to allow users to enable native autofill in Chrome rather than the existing "Autofill Compatibility Mode" feature. More information on this can be found on the Google Developers Blog here.

    The Autofill on Chrome message that you saw in 1Password was meant to allow users to enable this new functionality. However, although the new setting is available in Chrome Beta and Canary, it’s not yet enabled in Chrome stable. As a result, we've turned this message off in the 1Password for Android app until there's confirmation that native autofill is available in the stable version of Chrome for Android. 

    For the moment, you can continue to use Autofill compatibility mode. Follow these steps: Set up Autofill

    Let me know if you run into any issues.
